Chapter 1075


    How could he have the audacity to im he ever loved her mother? Whenever Bruce brought up her


    mother’s name now, Thssa was consumed by a rage so fierce she could kill him.


    To hear the name Evelyn from Bruce''s lips was an insult to her memory!


    "Don''t make me sick. Your daughter is Susan! I have nothing to do with you!" Thssa growled with


    fury.


    The hatred she had for Bruce was once a suppressed whisper, but now it roared unrestrained.


    "Calm down, will ya? I''m in a decent mood for now, but if you keep up with that nasty talk, I might just


    get riled up enough to let slip something you''d rather keep under wraps," Bruce threatened over the


    phone.


    "What the hell do you want?" Thssa hissed through clenched teeth.


    Bruce was still holding that damn video over her head – a pure bluff at this point, as he had no leverage


    left.


    "Here''s the thing," Bruce, touching his nose on the other end, said, "I''m a bit strapped for cash at the


    moment. Why don''t you wire me a cool two million?"


    He said it as if it was the most natural request in the world, without a hint of politeness.


    Thssa was so enraged sheughed, "Why should your financial woes be my concern? Your


    precious Susan climbed the socialdder and snagged Lysander, didn''t she? Go ask her for the


    money! Leave me out of it!"


    "Hey, listen…" Bruce started, but the line went dead.


    Furious, Bruce tossed his phone on the desk, a sinister glint in his eyes.


    Thssa, what makes you so bold? You''ll spend your life dancing to my tune! He thought.


    Back in the hospital room, Thssa tossed her phone aside after ending the call. The simmering


    anger, which she had barely contained, red up once more with Bruce''s call, pulling at her nerves and


    causing her stomach to churn with difort.


    She gently caressed her belly, soothingly whispering, "It''s okay, baby. Mommy didn''t mean to get upset.


    I promise, no more anger."


    Her rage hurt not only herself but the precious life inside her.


    Bruce''s shameless words were simply intolerable.


    Before the video was erased, she would have been at Bruce''s mercy, ready to sell her soul to give him


    the two million.


    But things were different now. She had Atticus erase the leverage Bruce held over her. She would


    never be threatened by him again.


    Taking deep breaths, Thssa calmed herself down. She had to admit, her anger stemmed not only


    from Bruce''s vile threats but also from remembering Evelyn''s words.

    Evelyn had been at the Draven International Hotel that day too, intending to meet Thssa when she


    witnessed Susan, disheveled, exiting Lysander''s room before heading to Joshua''s.


    Susan had been in Lysander''s room, her clothes in disarray.


    Had she seeded? Had she slept with Lysander?


    The mere thought of Susan''s state being due to Lysander sparked an inexplicable fury and frustration


    in Thssa.


    Earlier, she even explicitly mentioned to Bruce that Susan had snagged Lysander and told him to ask


    her for money directly. It was just a ploy to extract information from Bruce about the closeness between


    Susan and Lysander.


    If Susan was in a position to ask Lysander for money, to have a say in his presence, didn''t that imply


    they had been intimate?


    Yet, Thssa was too cowardly to even hear the answer.


    In a moment of impulsiveness, she had thrown out the idea of Susan climbing the socialdder with


    Lysander, and then hung up without waiting for a reply.


    She wanted to seem indifferent, but in the heat of the moment, her deepest feelings betrayed her with


    impulsive words, and shecked the courage to face the truth.
